ONE MONTH

So its been a month..... seems like  such a short time and a long time all at the same time.  I am doing really good not really having much pain but when i do its cuz im still doing things. I got to move onto soft foods last week was AWESOME!!!  My  first meal consisted of a hotdog.... pretty sure it was an all beef one and i reallly dont care for that.. i love my fake dogs any day! Finished that meal with some salmon.  Kevin is finally home from his deployment and I cant tell you all how excited we are to have him home... now I dont have to make excuses about why I didn't mow the grass to my self :). Still  getting dizzy here and there but its getting better-ish. 

So one thing I haven't talked about is the numbers where I was at  where i wanna be and where I am.... well last July when i started this whole mess I was about 374. Since then I have been seeing a OBGYN who specializes in  PCOS/Insulin Resistance ..odly enough Dr. Foley lol .  I am not sure i buy into the juju but I lost 40lbs  from July till about March... then i was stilling about 334 lbs until I had surgery. Today I am 307 and some change..  So total I have lost 67 lbs in one year!!! and soon to be more.  There is no set number I will be at but i should be in the 170- 180 range according to some chart and blah blah blah.... whos knows where I will be I just know that I will be a much.. much  smaller me!!!  Today we celebrated kevin being home with massages and  I  looovvvveeeddd it... can't wait to do it again!

The best thing about having kevin  back was the comment he made about being able to actually fit his arms around me... I wonder if it is odd that I never really noticed.... either way  love the fact that he at least noticed.

2 weeks... really?

Sooo its been a bit and  I have been avoiding it.... so before I go to bed I'll give you a  quick update...  Back pain last week that was pretty horrible  which .. with a lot of prayers!!... ended up being nothing... I have a theory but we will see because today I got my shipment of RTD Isopure  protein drinks.. for those who aren't in the know... lol ... RTD is ready to drink.... I just learned that :D...   I got enough to make sure I'm getting in the protein I'm suppose to.. which I haven't been because its rather hard when doing all the rest of the crap i have to do!....    So back to the pain... next time im not suppose to wait 2 days and call sooner... :) I think thats the king in me? oh welllll......

So currently,  I went back to work today... seems how I am just teaching just one class its really not like work at all :)... This weekend will be interesting because I have 2 day 8 am-5 pm seminar that I am putting on at the school. I am trying to plan now all the things  I and Gabby will need to survive this.  Really not having any issues my penrose  drain is  draining which is suppose to be good.. but rather nasty actually....  I verified today that the penrose rain wasn't soooo pen size... it was rather large like a manacotti noodle... the next time you eat some or if i make it for you.... I really want to give you a nice visual!!! lol ...

Other than that doing rather well I think... I need to work on cleaning this house  and that's about it for now.

Tomorrow is 1 week since my surgery.  I can't believe how fast time has gone!  One of the most common things that I've have been asked ( and that I have been wondering ) is  would  I weigh less  right after surgery?? Well  I didn't weigh less right after surgery (prolly due to the excess fluid  and such just from surgery alone)  but  within the days after surgery I saw that number going DOWN on the scale!  I have been noticing a change in the size  of my stomach but thought  I was crazy..  Today the scale officially said  10 lbs less! woooo hooooo....  Makes me wonder what How much I will  have lost  by the time my husband comes home from his deployment in the next few months!  Being so excited about when he comes home I am trying to plan  what I would wear and for once its frustrating in a  good way :). I am fighting the urge to go shopping and buying a lot of  clothes and hope that  I can make good use of goodwill  for the majority of my clothes.  I haven't been feeling hungry at all  and they say for the 1st year I shouldn't ever feel hungry!  I am doing my best to  get in enough liquid  sip by sip  I need 64ox clear liquids a day majority being water... so far I have been able to do it a couple days but  its hard for me to remember! I found this great android app  for  keeping track of water intake! and that has helped!

~till next time!
